Education and Design for a Sustainable World

Sustainable Vegetable Gardening for Everyone

On Tuesday, May 29, 2012 our daughter, Betsy Trice, and I will be presenting Sustainable Vegetable Gardening for Everyone at Ashland Coffee and Tea in Ashland, VA. In case you marked it on your calendar after reading Tuesday’s blog, this is the correct date. Tuesday’s post has since been corrected. Betsy and I will share how we grow healthy food, while at the same time feed the soil and build the ecosystem. Learn how we manage our gardens and take home ideas for your own vegetable growing. Betsy found her own place in sustainable agriculture during her years in Arkansas and has since moved back to Virginia. She now teaches the sustainable agriculture classes I left at J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College and operates Lightfoot Gardening Coach, a consulting business for those interested in vegetable gardening, backyard chickens, and homesteading. This is the first time we have joined together for a presentation. We will be on hand beginning at 6:30 and the presentation begins at 7:30 pm. Come early to claim your seat. There is no cover charge, however, reservations are recommended.
